The
Lost Boys Of Sudan saw their parents killed and villages burned as
civil war engulfed Sudan during the 1980s. Boys as young as 6-years-old
walked a distance equivalent to that between Denver and Chicago in
search of safety, a journey that took about 3 months. Over half were
killed or captured. After 14 years in refugee camps, their plight
came to the attention of the U.S. State Department and beginning in
2001 many of them were resettled in the United States. Over 125 live
among us in the Chicago area.

These
young men are currently pursuing their educations while maintaining
a strong sense of community and working to support themselves. They
are dedicated to helping rebuild their homes and villages and country
now that a peace agreement has been signed between the government
in the north and the Sudanese People's Liberation Movement in the
south.

The
Chicago Association for the Lost Boys Of Sudan (CALBOS) was formed

assistance, employment counseling and educational support to the Lost
Boys Of Sudan living in Chicago.
